La Rastegue sur Bormes-Les-Mimosas

We are regulars at this restaurant, and I hesitated to give it three stars. Perhaps it was nostalgia? The amuse-bouche, accompanied by Patricia's delicious anchovy dip, is still there, as are the other ingredients, the same ones I've had since I first came to this restaurant: nothing new. Tonight's starter: a perfectly cooked egg on a bed of ratatouille. Perfect as it was, did an egg really belong on a €58 menu? The main course: sea bass fillet, crushed potatoes, fennel marmalade, with a few drops of fish stock. We didn't find Chef Jérôme's usual excellent cooking, and the fish stock was sorely lacking. Finally, the cheese and Valrhona chocolate dessert were, as always, excellent. As for the "table d'hôte" atmosphere, where has it gone? The service, while certainly perfect, was shared between Chef Jérôme, Patricia, and a waitress, though pleasant, and was far from what we were used to.

Another wonderful dinner at La Rastègue (our fourth visit!), which is clearly the standout restaurant in the Bormes/Le Lavandou area. If you’re looking for the very essence of Provence, this is the place to go. The flavour simply oozes from Chef Jérôme’s beautiful dishes. We love how he uses the best seasonal, local ingredients: in late summer, we had aubergines, tomatoes, St. Pierre (John Dory) fish, olives, anchoïade… The excellent wine selection and scenic hillside views are unforgettable - and what really ties the dining experience together is Patricia, who embodies French elegance as a truly welcoming hostess. It was a shame we missed le jeune homme parce que l’école était commencée! Thank you so much for another lovely dinner - we would hugely recommend La Rastègue to anyone looking for an impeccable Provençal evening.

An enchanting view, a refined and delicious meal, impeccable service. Everything was perfect...Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Nothing to complain about. Everything is perfect (food and service). And the value for money is unbeatable.

First time at La Rastegue with friends tonight. Everything was delicious, from the amuse-bouche to dessert. A very warm welcome.

A wonderful culinary discovery with lovely smiles both in the dining room and the kitchen.

We had a wonderful time. The terrace is stunning, and the meal was truly excellent. Well done, and thank you for this experience!

This was top of our hit list when returning to Bormes this year and we are so glad we managed to make a reservation. The setting is truly wonderful and the service is absolutely top level. The small things you should expect from a fine dining restaurant, this place delivers on and other restaurants in the area could learn from them in that regard. The menu is slightly limited in that amuse bouche and starter are as they come, and mains was a choice of two white fish dishes which we didn’t mind but others might find a little restrictive. Nice touch in having a cheese between main and dessert. We were truly stuffed by the end of the night and had a fantastic evening. Thank you to the whole team we will be back next year!

La Rastègue ❤️, one of my favorite restaurants! We've been coming back for years, always with the same pleasure. Here, you'll find authentic Mediterranean cuisine, generous and full of flavor, in a magnificent setting with a superb sea view. Patricia and Jérôme are simply delightful. You're welcomed with open arms, a big smile, and that feeling of being right at home. Jérôme, in the kitchen, knows his craft perfectly: the dishes are beautifully presented, the ingredients are showcased to perfection, and your taste buds are constantly delighted! The concept is truly well thought out, and the atmosphere is fantastic. In the dining room, Patricia takes excellent care of her guests, always attentive and present in just the right way. And right up to the last bite, everything is perfect… ❤️ La Rastègue is a place I adore, where you feel comfortable and where it's always a pleasure to return. A beautiful place, beautiful people and above all… cuisine that makes you want to come back again and again!

My favorite restaurant on the Côte d'Azur for years ❤️
